Biotechnology Quiz

This is the practice of producing a genetically identical cell or organism

• Cloning

• Gel Electrophoresis

• Genetic Engineering

• DNA Fingerprinting

Which kitten is most likely the offspring of this cat?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Process that separates DNA fragments by size and charge.

• Gel electrophoresis

• Cloning

• Transgenic

• Recombinant DNA

Organisms that are made of DNA from different species.

• Stem Cells

• Transgenic

• Plasmid

• Recombinant DNA

Genetic material found in ALL living things.

• Plasmid

• Stem Cells

• DNA

• Restriction Enzymes

Which explains the process of gene therapy?

• technique for use of antibiotics to kill bacterial genes

• technique for correcting defective genes that cause disease

• technique to attach genes to bacterial DNA, making the bacteria

  harmless

• technique to produce genes in an organism where they are not

  normally found

Which is the primary purpose of using restriction enzymes in gel electrophoresis?

• It allows the strands of DNA to be cut into various lengths for testing
• It restricts the number of base pairs that can be tested in a sample
• It makes the testing simpler by moving the strands into the gel faster
• It charges the DNA strands

In gel electrophoresis, the largest DNA fragment will appear

• closest to the starting wells
• farthest from the starting wells
• three quarters away from the starting wells
• it depends on how many fragments there are

Why do the fragments of DNA in gel electrophoresis travel away from the negative electrode?

• DNA is negatively charged so attracted to the positive end of the unit
• DNA is positively charged to attracted to the negative end of the unit
• the agarose gel in negatively charged
• the agarose gel is positively charged

Which suspect is likely guilty?

• Suspect #1
• Suspect #2
• Suspect #3
